In a continued expansion of its outreach efforts, VA will set up a Veterans Command Center 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Aug. 13 to assist veterans at American Legion Post 62. Post 62 is located at 9847 W. Desert Cove Ave. in Peoria. Staffers from VA Phoenix Health Care System and the Veterans Benefits Administration’s Phoenix Regional Office will be available to explain and assist with the benefits they administer.

Veterans and family members will find assistance with application and enrollment, as well as new services and how to access them. Help is available for those seeking VA health care, education, loans, disability benefits and others.

The Veterans Command Center is the latest in a series of outreach events undertaken by VA in the Greater Phoenix area. Hundreds of veterans have already been served. VA’s goal is to provide the appropriate resources to all veterans who seek to use the benefits they have earned.
